Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Reflections:
Did you ever get to the place where you thought to yourself, �I�ll never be able to work out the emotional/spiritual bugs in my life.� You�re right! You won�t, because you can�t -- but the Holy Spirit can � and He will if we�ll simply ask believing. Sounds too easy, doesn�t it?
We all know that self-help programs really don�t work in terms of eliminating our problems. At best they can only keep us on the �wagon� which has been �life� to some. Many folks wouldn�t have made it as far as they have without that help. I am thankful for programs like Alcoholics Anonymous; Overeaters anonymous, Emotions Anonymous and the like. They have kept men and women alive and hopeful -- but there�s so much more in Christ�
The Holy Spirit brings us beyond what self-help programs, psychologists, psychiatrists and medications can do; He brings us out of our problems and into a complete, and lasting, victory. �If the Son makes you free you shall be free indeed (John 8:36)!�
Let�s choose to allow God the good work of emotional/spiritual restoration in our lives that our verse speaks of today -- and to bring it to completion. Help is only a prayer away. Ask and you shall receive (Matt 7:7-8). Rather than just leaning on the arm of flesh for our support, let us learn to rest in the everlasting arms of God (Duet 33:27), who will complete us �
